Frequently Asked Questions
The active preamp adds a subtle EQ shaping capability, boosting lows and highs, but also introduces a slight compression that can make the tone more consistent.
Morado is generally more stable than rosewood and less susceptible to cracking or shrinking, though proper humidity control is always recommended for any wood instrument.
The quick release mechanism allows for rapid string changes without needing to re-tune, streamlining maintenance and enabling fast swaps for different string gauges or setups.
